Hi Charlie. A few years back I used an independent builder – John O’Connor for an extensive and exhaustive renovation of my house. I found him knowledgable, reliable and rather economical. His work is to a very good standard and I have found him quite ready to come back and do minor repairs free of charge even if at the end they were found not to be due to the renovation. But be careful with the original contract as any change (including minor ones) becomes a Variation with the all the cost involved. Try to get everything in the contract and quote up front.

Hi Charlie
Got the name of the builder wrong – It was John McConnell of Axiom Construction who did the renovation for me and who I am willing to act as a reference
